A Fortune Worth Tens of Millions!

Magic City Central Auction House.

"Hello, gentlemen. Do you both have invitations?" a male attendant asked Lin Lan and Mo Fan.

"Yes, here you go." Lin Lan took out two invitations and handed them to the attendant. Tickets were not difficult to obtain. Once Lin Lan made a reservation using his identity as an elite hunter, dedicated staff would deliver them directly to his door, which was quite convenient.

"Very well, please come in."

The moment they entered, they saw the lavishly decorated venue, with staff still bustling about nonstop. Lin Lan led Mo Fan to their assigned seats, which offered a full view of the entire auction hall and counted as minor VIP seating.

Rows of luxurious seats were filled with buyers who had long awaited this day. They came from all over the world—some gray-haired, some young—and their eyes were filled with anticipation and desire. Some held business cards and folders, taking all kinds of notes as they prepared for the intense bidding ahead. Others wore excited expressions, eagerly awaiting the sight of the coveted items. After half an hour, the auction finally began.

At the center of the stage, rows of bright lights shone down on the auctioneer. A small table stood before him, while a large screen behind him displayed the items up for auction.

"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend this auction organized by the Bai Family. The first item is ten Fire Element Spirit Seed Fragments, excavated from a Bai Family mineral vein." As the auctioneer spoke, a staff member walked up carrying a tray holding ten crimson Fire Element Spirit Seed Fragments.

"There is no need to elaborate on the uses of Fire Element Spirit Seed Fragments. They can be fused into a spirit seed, used to nurture Summoned Beasts, or forged into magic equipment. The starting bid is four million." As soon as the auctioneer announced the opening price, the bidders began raising their paddles, with shouts rising one after another. "Four point one million!" "Four point two million!" "Five million!"...

"Lanzi, do you think this auction will have a Fire Element spirit seed?" Seeing even spirit seed fragments up for sale, Mo Fan could not help asking.

"Probably not. Didn't we look through the list earlier? Our items are the main attractions," Lin Lan said with a shrug.

"Thank you to this gentleman for purchasing these ten Fire Element Spirit Seed Fragments for six million," the auctioneer said to the

woman who had successfully won the bid.

"Lanzi, how much does one Fire Element Spirit Seed Fragment usually sell for outside?" Mo Fan asked curiously.

"One is usually worth around two hundred thousand to eight hundred thousand. They can be fused into a spirit seed, but they aren't as effective as naturally formed spirit seeds," Lin Lan told Mo Fan. It seemed Mo Fan wanted to calculate how much it would cost to fuse a spirit seed. Upon hearing that, Mo Fan began to ponder.

"The next item is a juvenile Sky Eagle. Sky Eagles are standard mounts for Military Mages. Once fully grown, they are incredibly fast and can be raised by Summoning Mages."

"The starting bid is four million." As the auctioneer finished speaking, the crowd began competing for it. Sky Eagles were centrally bred by Military Mages, and those released to the public were quite rare. In the end, a Summoning Mage bought it for six and a half million.

"The next item is called the Dragon Nether Armor. This is an Armor Magic Tool forged from the spine of a Two-Winged Pseudo Dragon. It can withstand three full-force attacks from Warrior Rank creatures, as well as most basic Elemental Magic. It can even resist some Intermediate Level Magic." A set of pure-white armor appeared on the large screen, gleaming with streaks of white light beneath the illumination.

"The starting bid is five million." Shouts immediately rose all around them. The crowd was clearly very satisfied with the item, scrambling to offer prices for fear of falling behind.

"Wow, Lanzi, my shield is already scrapped. This Armor Magic Tool looks pretty good—it suits my temperament." Desire flashed through Mo Fan's eyes as he spoke excitedly to Lin Lan.

"If you want it, bid on it. I don't lack defensive measures. Once your soul essence sells later, you'll still have money left," Lin Lan said to Mo Fan. Armor Magic Tools were nice, but they still could not withstand his lightning.

Mo Fan hurriedly raised his paddle. After an intense struggle, he won it for seven and a half million.

"Next come the two finale lots of this auction." The auctioneer's words immediately stirred everyone's curiosity. Three staff members then carried three vessels to the center of the stage and slowly set them down.

"The next three items are three Warrior Rank soul essences, all from Warrior Rank Three-Eyed Demon Wolves. There is no need to further explain the uses of soul essences. Since they are being sold by the same seller, they have been brought out together but will be auctioned separately."

"The first one has a starting price of eleven million." As the auctioneer's words fell, the competition for the first soul essence began.

"Fourteen million!"

"Sixteen million!"

"Twenty-four million!"

The moment twenty-four million was called, no one continued bidding. "Congratulations to this gentleman for purchasing the first one for twenty-four million."... The second and third sold even more fiercely. The second went for twenty-five million, while the third sold for twenty-seven million.

"Lanzi, we struck it rich!" Mo Fan said to Lin Lan excitedly.

"You can have the money from the last one. That gives you an extra million," Lin Lan said indifferently. Mo Fan became even happier upon hearing that, jumping up and down in excitement.

"The final auction item is an infant Sky Ridge Beast..."

"Hello, Mr. Lin. This is the Dragon Nether Armor you obtained in this auction. After deducting seven and a half million, as well as the service fee, there are still sixty-seven million in this card. The Bai Family's appraiser is waiting for the two of you in the reception room. He asked me to tell you that the Bai Family has some gifts for you, which may interest you," the staff member said after handing the card and the Armor Magic Tool to Lin Lan.

"Alright, we'll head over shortly." Lin Lan nodded. When they had come to auction the items two days ago, this appraiser had repeatedly tried to befriend Lin Lan, but Lin Lan had declined. Now, it seemed he had some good items he wanted to use to establish relations. There was no harm in taking a look.

After leading Lin Lan and Mo Fan to the reception room, the staff member closed the door and left.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Mo, we invited you here because we hope to establish a long-term partnership with the two of you," Bai Tianyi said warmly to Lin Lan and Mo Fan.

"We came to see what Mr. Bai intends to give us," Lin Lan said bluntly to Bai Tianyi.

"Please take a look. This is a Demon Slaying Tool called the Spirit Slayer, along with five Fire Element Spirit Seed Fragments. I can give them to the two of you. All I ask is that Mr. Lin and Mr. Mo establish a long-term partnership with the Bai Family. If you have soul essences, we can help sell them for you immediately," Bai Tianyi said sincerely, displaying both the Demon Slaying Tool and the Fire Element Spirit Seed Fragments.

"Replace the Fire Element ones with Lightning Element ones, and I'll consider it. Also, we can only cooperate with you for one year. If you agree, all the Warrior Rank soul essences we obtain this year can be sold through the Bai Family," Lin Lan said calmly. In truth, this partnership was acceptable, as both sides stood to benefit. The Demon Slaying Tool and Lightning Element Spirit Seed Fragments were not cheap either.

"Alright... I accept your terms." Bai Tianyi considered it before agreeing. Warrior Rank soul essences were in short supply. There were very few Undead Element Mages in the country, and Soul Vessels capable of absorbing Warrior Rank soul essences were held by major powers. Yet these two had produced three Warrior Rank soul essences in one go. A long-term partnership promised enormous benefits, and one year was enough.

"Pleasure doing business with you." Lin Lan shook hands with Bai Tianyi. He was quite willing as well—free spirit seed fragments were free spirit seed fragments. Lin Lan already had a Demon Slaying Tool, so he would give this one to Mo Fan as a reward.

"Whoa! I'm a multimillionaire again, and the equipment on me alone is worth tens of millions!" Mo Fan was overjoyed all the way back, wearing the Dragon Nether Armor and carrying the Spirit Slayer. With another twenty million in his pocket, even his walk carried a breeze.

Lin Lan still had three Servant Rank soul essences in Little Mudfish. Once he got seven, he would directly strengthen Lightning Seal. Mo Fan had also contributed plenty to hunting demons and even had his own Soul Vessel, so there was no need to waste the soul essences. Lin Lan's Soul Vessel could only absorb two soul essences—it truly was nowhere near as good as Little Mudfish.

"Mo Fan, I've already arranged for you to awaken at the Magic Association later." Lin Lan had also contacted Night Hawk to arrange Mo Fan's awakening ceremony.
